    Hiking

    From here you have a wonderful view over Jena, whether by day or by night. Several benches invite you to linger.

    Wilhelm Kreis designed the 21-meter-high round tower, which was heavily influenced in many details by the tomb of the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna.

    A few years later, Wilhelm Kreis planned a similar, even more voluminous Bismarck Tower for Stettin (now Poland).

    Hiking

    The tower is currently closed and is rapidly falling into disrepair.
